I'm simulating the biomass combustion process on Aspen plus but the heat of combustion calculated by Aspen does not equate to the heat provided by the flue gases after combustion. Please guide me in this regard. Thank you.
Simulating biomass combustion on Aspen Plus is a relatively simple process. The first step is to create a model of the gasification process using Aspen Plus, which will allow you to predict the chemical composition of product gas for different types of biomass. Once the model has been created, you can then use it to simulate the combustion process and determine the electrical efficiency of your system. Additionally, you can also use Aspen Plus to simulate other biomass conversation processes such as solid separation and drying of fresh biomass to be converted into pellets.
Overall, Aspen Plus provides an effective way to simulate biomass combustion and other related processes in order to maximize efficiency and optimize performance.
